- Hi everyone, I want to take a different direction and share something new with my soaping family.
I have struggled with my weight since I was 19 Today is November 6, 2015 and I weigh 235lbs.
When I was 17 and dating Eric, I was 5-2 and 112. I took a antibiotic that made me very very sick. LONG story short I ended up having psoriatic arthritis and I am super sensitive to anything and everything. I took steroids and other meds for 2 years straight because the doctors did not know what happened and they could not help me. Found out I had a serum sickening reaction to the antibiotic. Ugh. So onto better news!!!
I'm excited to share my journey with you. I've been lucky to have been introduced to a health and wellness company called Plexus Worldwide. Never heard of it? Neither had I. Look at the amazing before and after photos in the video!
A dear friend who I admire, trust and respect introduced me to it.
I placed my first order of Plexus a few days ago and and I literally cannot wait for it to get here. This is 100 times worse than waiting for soaping supplies
What is Plexus?
Like I said, Plexus is health & wellness company that focuses your health, weight management and pain management goals.
1. Plexus products work together to help you regulate your system from the INSIDE OUT!
2. All their supplements are
· plant-based
· safe for diabetics
· gluten-free
· non-GMO
· contain no soy
· contain NO artificial sweeteners or dyes or chemicals.
Their most popular products are Plexus Slim, BioCleanse & ProBio5. (AKA the TRI-PLEX) They work together to
· regulate blood sugar levels
· decrease inflammation
· improve gut health
· build the immune system to address the root causes of many health problems.
My friend who introduced it to me is 5-5 and 145. She loves it because it's helped her get a great night of sleep every night. She loves waking up in the morning feeling refreshed with lots of energy that lasts her all day. She doesn't struggle with her blood sugar levels anymore and her carb and sugar cravings are greatly diminished. She no longer suffers from seasonal allergies or ongoing sinus infections. On top of all that, as her body has become regulated, she lost 25 lbs and has kept it off for over a year. Pamela insert.
I'm so excited about these products, if you want more information, you can contact me on facebook or on TH-cam. I also made a special group on Facebook for those of you who want to join with me or just want to see my journey. I would love for you to join. :)

BATH BOMB FROSTING:
These make enough to pipe 14 regular sized bath bomb cupcake bottoms.
8oz Citric Acid
16oz Baking Soda
3-4oz SLSA
4oz Crm of Tartar
2.5tblspn Kaolin Clay
6oz Cocoa butter
1oz Almond Oil
0.5-1oz FO/EO
Poly 80 is optional but helps to disperse the oils.
Colorant (if dry, add to dry ingredients, if liquid, add to oils)
I mix the dry ingredients in my mixing bowl with my hands while the oils are melting. I add the FO/EO to the melted oils. The mixer then gets turned on and the oils are slowly added to the dry powders. This will eventually become like thick buttercream. Wait until it cools a bit before putting in a piping bag. Pipe!! It will still be warm! If it gets too hard to pipe, warm it up again - I have never had to do that as I'm done piping before it hardens up. Will be soft for a day or two... Don't touch!!! It'll harden up. It will.
I usually half this recipe and can get it all in one bag at once without having to stop and refill. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน

Too cute.
Excellent recipe in this video. Thanks!
PS I can totally relate to the health nightmare. I hope you're better now.
Thank you for sharing your frosting recipe!! :-)
Finally a good icing type mix without all that sugar thats normally added! Thanks for sharing,i shall be trying this over the weekend!
Thanks soo much for sharing you recipes. This is soo much better than the sugar topping.
Love watching your videos, you are a great Mum and an awesome person. All the best with your healthy journey.
Don’t worry about that. You are such a beautiful person on the inside and out🥰🥰🥰💯
The BBs look great!! Good luck on your journey with Plexus. I've only heard good things about these products! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I will keep you all updated on it. :)
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I tried it today and the 8 1/2 oz worked for me to pipe the frosting! I'm stocked and hoping it will set up hard overnight. :-) I have a big smile and thanks for sharing...... De'
I hope your weight-loss journey turned out good. I was diagnosed 3 years ago with Lupus and RA and was put on some meds and I started having issues with weight gain as well!!
These are beautiful, I think that’s the best topping I have seen.....and no sugar 😜
the bath bombs are beautiful! and congrats on starting your plexus journey! I'm a plexus ambassador and I love our products. every one in my household uses it (husband and 2 children not including myself) I hope you like the product and good luck on your journey!
Thank you! I am so excited
Thank you much for the video
Great !!!! thank you to share your recipe !!!!! i will try on !!!
your welcome :)
Hated the idea of the sugar frostings, the melt'n'pour ones I wasn't keen on, I love this recipe though. Going to try it this weekend. I made my first lot of bath bombs last weekend with your recipe and they turned out great. ThanQ so much for sharing your great recipes.
+Jennifer A Shepherd hope you enjoy it!
Jennifer A Shepherd hi Jennifer do you have her recipe as I’m having trouble with mine also or do you know the video I can watch to get it?? Thank you 😊
A&N's Suds-N-Such & BeScented can you share your bath bomb recipe as mine never harden all the way n I’m very frustrated. Thank you so much 😊
Hi. Thanks so much for the recipe, it’s very generous of you. I made this recipe and could not pipe it at all! I added more cocoa butter (about 2 more oz actually) and still could not pipe it. It didn’t look or feel dry, so I thought I would be able to pipe it, and still I could not! I ended up just shaping it with my hands and put it on top of the bath bomb cupcakes. Do you have any suggestions? Could you possible add coco betaine instead of slsa as a bubbling agent to maybe make it a little more pipable?
Can you also use this frosting on melt and pour soap cupcakes or just bath bombs
Thank you Toni
FYI- with regard to the product you mentioned it had Stevia. Although that is a "natural" product, many people don't realize that the Stevia plant is related to the rag weed plant. So, people like me who have Ragweed allergies can react severely to Stevia. Please do a disclaimer. Although people with severe allergies will usually go straight to the ingredients, others might find out the hard way. Now a days Stevia is in everything!
Beautiful recipe. Good luck on your journey. I know, it's so hard to lose weight.
A massive THANK you for actually putting up a recipe as promised & vidio..you get sent to solo MANY sites recipe included never a recipe if there is some thing it's a picture of a mixing bowl with no quantitys of how much to use.. ..thank you beautiful lady..🥰🥰😀😀
I love your channel
You've inspired me! I just placed an order for a one month supply of Plexus! Here's to us! P.S. I'm a soaper, also, and love your videos.
Oh this Is going to be exciting! if you haven't already join my Facebook group for the journey. it's called Jens Plexus Journey
I would LOVE to know where you guys get these cups. I can't find them in the right size anywhere.
this is super nice of you to share, I havecavquestion, is there no secondary surfactant in this? I make I bubble frosting kinda close to this but I use coco betain, I wonder if you swap out some of the cocoa butter fir betain if that would help with more bubbles or extend bubbles? I love recipes like this it's a nice foundations to play around with
Let me know if you try it out with coco betain. I have some on hand and love the extra bubbles it would give.
Tried this recipe Jen but just couldn't pipe it. Added extra oil to no avail. Ant tips?? Thanks
Cupcakes are so cute. :-)
thanks
I don't know how to message u otherwise but I have struggled with my weight since having my son. I got on birth control and gained an extra 70 pounds and it hasn't went anywhere. I have been taking TruVision since July 1 and have so far lost 29 pounds! Good luck with your exciting journey!!
+Brandi Dolash thank you!!!!
Plexus is a great product,,
hi love your videos want to try this is there a way to do half of the recipe
Hi, i tried melt n pour icing ~failed...
i now tried your recipe... failed.... hmm it got so hard i put in the microwave to heat it up but it still could not be piped out so i added extra tb of almond oil... still wouldnt come out... oh.. what was wrong?
Does this frosting harden up enough to shrink wrap? Gorgeous color!
i think the high top ones are better, you can add little items made of soap to the top x
Thank you
So did you do the 6oz or 7oz of.cocoa butter , because you mentioned you had a.extra 1oz
Did you have a problem with the frosting sticking to your base?
I am with you Jenn! I sent fb request today, you can do it and it helps a ton to have people doing it with you! I will spill my weight and post a picture in the group! I love your videos and your soaps 😀
yay!! thank you :)
Hi Jen, any idea if you can use meringue powder instead of cream of tarter? Cream of tarter is so expensive!
someone above said you can use corn starch instead.
great piping! I purchased a recipe a few months ago, haven't been able to try it yet because one of the ingredients have been out of stock! I'm going to friend request you on fb to discuss the Plexus. I'm interested!
awesome. thank you! hope you can join.
Does the recipe dry rockhard?
Hi ! What is FO/EO ? Do you have a link where can I buy it or substitute it with ? Huge thank you in advance .
Ops just listened to your video and heard you say it -1 ounce. Thank you :)
What can I use if I do not have sasl
I like this recipe but what is the 0.5-1 oz FO/EO I really want to do this soon so can you let me know soon. Thank you for sharing
Doreen Sweeney fragrance oil or essential oil
I found cups similar on aliexpress
Hi Jen
Thanks for the recipe love it .Do you have a recipe for the bomb base?
Thanks
We have the recipe I use in our bescented facebook group.
Where can I buy polysorbate 80? I haven't seen it. I found a few places selling polysorbate 20, but not 80.
MidnightMoon amazon has it if that helps
hey jen, again, haha I know I watch and research your videos daily. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis among other things (like hashimotos hypothyroidism) over the last 3 or 4 years and it turns out I'm allergic to methotrexate, as you know a treatment for RA, it nearly killed me! anyway between my complete disablement in a very short period of time, the steroids and no doubt the hashis playing a role too, my body weight doubled within 4 months of diagnosis. I was much like you as a teen, in fact most my life (I'm 38, 4 kids) I've been skinny as hell! I was a gymnast, an amateur actor, a model, and generally anorexic. I went from 119 pounds to 232 pounds. I've been off the methotrexate and steroids for over a year now and my new drug regime reduced a large amount of the swelling across my body. I currently weigh about 165 pounds. it's so hard when you get sick and everything changes, people assume your fat cos you just ate too much or lazy and don't do enough. I've had people tell me I should and could run a marathon if I just set my mind to it.... I struggle to walk to the toilet so that's unlikely. people can be so cruel and I really pray you didn't let internet trolls bring you down. nevertheless I'm do happy for you to be on this plexus journey and I'm seriously considering using your link. I believe it won't be a problem as an RA patient? sorry for long comment, thanks for replying before, I appreciate. best wishes xx
Jenn where do you get your cupcake base cups from. TY for sharing this recipe..
I get mine at walmart.
Hobby Lobby
Can I use the Kitchen Aid to make bath bombs and still use the Kitchen Aid to make cookies or other food items?
glitterglamscrapper, you really shouldn't use soaping supplies for food or vice versa for cross contamination purposes if you sell. That's not to say that some will say it's ok, but not really a good practice.
Can I substitute beeswax and stearic acid so I get the same hardness
Deborah Torain-Williams good question. I don't have slsa. I hear it is drying to the skin. But we
Can try it I guess. Beeswax is expensive for just fooling around with
I can relate to your health issues
But please talk us through your bomb making tutorial
I am allergic to SLS, do you know of something else I could add other than the SLS
Love of Luxury Soaps b
It's been one and a half years since you began your weight loss program. Have you been at all successful or did you just give up?
i have watch you for awhile and learn from you and thank you, but i do not know where to go on a web site to sell my products, can you help
Hey jenn, I don't normally comment on videos because I never really get a response but I couldn't help myself today. I LOVE your videos, your creativity, your dedication, your methods. This video was a little while ago I know but I'd just like to say that you're an inspiration. I don't know how you can possibly do all that you do with those boys. I have three children 2yo,4yo,6yo and I have spent the last 6 months planning my business and creating a big enough inventory of products to be able to open my online store and if I'm lucky I'll get one new product done in three days. I'm having serious problems with my bath bombs and I just can't get them right, I feel like I've searched all of your videos and I can't find a bath bomb recipe, if you have one could you please send it to me? I'm from Australia and my names also Jennifer, would you be interested in sort of mentoring me ? Do you have a Facebook group or anything I can join to get some tips ?
Sending my love.
Can anything be substituted for cream of tartar? It's not the cheapest ingredient.
starlitkate corn starch
U shouldn't hide your siZe you u pretty damn smart and very creative and u seem. Nice what's not to like about you and at least you trying to do something about your body image so good for you and if someone don't like you only because of your size trust me you don't want people in your life
Ike that
what was the last thing you forgot to add??
1 oz rice bran oil
I want to do this with you! Anti-depressants over the years have caused me to gain weight that I cant seem to lose. I try to stay busy but I am so fatigued all the time. I just want to feel healthy and energetic again! I'm heading over to your facebook group to join. Thank you for this and for your videos and for bescented...I have an order coming...I'm excited about my new spatulas...any other soapers get this excited about spatulas?!
+A&N's Suds-N-Such llc & BeScented.....I will email you!
lol yes! a good spatula will make all the difference to my soaping experience! jen I don't suppose bescented ships to England does it? haha thank God for soaping, I feel I'm coping so much better in life, both physically and emotionally since I discovered that I can make soap, even with my issues! now I find so many of you soapers seem to share my issues as well as my love for soaping :)
Has anyone tried shea butter instead of cocoa?
I did but it did not get as hard as cocoa butter. I also used mango butter and they were rock hard in a shorter period of tome.
Hi Jen, I'm trying to find your bath bomb recipe, how do I find "files"? I'm sure it's simple here on your you tube channel and it's just me knowing where to look. Thanks
+Christine Bowes it is in the facebook group i run
+A&N's Suds-N-Such llc & BeScented I am not on facebook for security reasons, anyway to find you on a soapers forum, etc?
the cups you use to bath bombs are these cupcake liners??
+Sonu K They are nut cups or baking cups. Both can be found on Amazon.
+Laura Sidor (Soapmak3r) thank you so much to reply me do you any idea what size of cup she is using or how much of bath bomb batter it hold pls
+Sonu K The ones she used for her bombs are like this. smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KKV7U7K?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00 The one's Jen used for her extra frosting are like these. smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GMFKVW4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01 I made some yesterday in the same cups she is using in the video and with the frosting my bombs weight about 4.5 to 5oz. You don't pack bomb mixture in all the way, must leave room at the top so your frosting has something to stick to. So I would guestimate that about 3oz of bath bomb mixture, maybe a little more. Links I posted above tell dimensions of the cups.
+Sonu K the ones I use hold about 3.5 oz of bomb filled not all the way full. :)
+Laura Sidor (Soapmak3r) thank you so much you are such a life saver so nice of you i was also thinking to these thats why i want to make sure how did that bath bomb batter looks so flat and clean looking surface in the cupcake holder since you made them any idea how to give a clean looking top base pls
So it's a triangle?
Your healthy/weight loss deal
Mind u i did omit the SLSA... because i dont want to dry my skin out. what else could i use instead? could this b why?
Catarina Tang bubble up from wsp. Stir it in FAST. Your batter will act like it does when you you act water. You will get Hollywood bubbles. I think it's better than sls
Catarina Tang it will act like it does when you add water. Sorry for the above typos
where can i buy these bath bomb cups pls
I got them on ebay
thank you jen
i checked ebay yesterday but all carry mini ones only about 2"
+Sonu K that is the correct size. let me grab the link.www.ebay.com/itm/311086406004?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=610405494052&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Great video, thanks for the recipe. Also, just adopt the vegan lifestyle. No diet, not products Youll lose weight, get healthy, promote the health of the environment and animals. Its the best "all you can eat" way of life.
my daughter has battled with her weight for about 10 years....after 6 months on a vegan diet she has lost over 65 pounds and she still eats heaps including naughty things like potato chips and vegan chocolate, vegan cake and lots of pasta....I imagine if she stopped some of these she would lose much more..her self esteem is slowly getting better and I hope she may even start wearing colors instead of living in black...lol..the weight is just dropping off her with no extra activity and she no longer has any constipation issues or bloating and tummy aches that she had on a daily basis...I wish I had tried this before having a gastric sleeve operation.
You say ur tired u should go to doctor get a thyroid cheek that could case wight problems
Melissa Callan I thought that as well I had a long journey with thyroid disease my battle is over! I had fatigue, weight gain and then hair loss and then acne on my chin all these little seemingly regular symptoms but grouped together it was a lot I got diagnosed and got on medication and the weight and hair and skin is better.
U don't look that weight
hey jen, again, haha I know I watch and research your videos daily. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis among other things (like hashimotos hypothyroidism) over the last 3 or 4 years and it turns out I'm allergic to methotrexate, as you know a treatment for RA, it nearly killed me! anyway between my complete disablement in a very short period of time, the steroids and no doubt the hashis playing a role too, my body weight doubled within 4 months of diagnosis.
